Regular profit and cash flow forecasts are vital to business owners and
managers. They provide critical information as to the life of the business, not
only for the owners and directors but also for potential providers of finance.

A cash flow projection is one of the most important management
reports as it shows how cash is expected to flow in and out of the business and
how much capital investment your business requires. These reports are
typically required by financial institutions/ banks when you want to
borrow money and can also assist in the successful running of your business as
cash flow management is also very important tool in managing day to day affairs
of business. As well as being invaluable planning tools, profit and cash
flow forecasts often prove essential for start-ups to obtain business funding -
and for established companies to secure additional funding for growth.
